One thing about Carole Nash is that it's specifically breakdown *and accident* recovery. I do have AA as well but you hear stories about them refusing recovery in case of an accident.

Yeah right, ask Bonwick Major how that works in reality. > I do have AA as well but you hear stories about them refusing > recovery in case of an accident. They (& most others) specifically don't cover accident recovery as your insurance policy should take care of that. Which is why Auntie kinda covers it as they'll also be your insurance company. -- Krusty

Not only that (and I realise my insured bike is several leagues below yours) but the phonedroid clearly stated that if I thought the premium was too high, to get some quotes and go back to him: "Because I'm /sue/ we can do something to get it lower, like drop the broker's cut (�30) off it". Bearing in mind this was for a �150 quote, as opposed to a �180 renewal statement, I was encouraged. I ummed and buggered off, did an online 'new business' quote with CN and came out with �114 (but they don't list the old B12 any more) so rang back the next day and got FC, bells and whistles for just over the ton. -- Pip: B12 |
